11When I first remembered hearing the song Fire by Jimi Hendrix, I was like "hey that's a red hot chili peppers song!"

12I used to think Kraftwerk pretty much invented electronic music, but then I found out about Silver Apples, Ussachevsky, Walter Carlos, Charles Dodge, Stockhausen &cetera.

14Don't get me wrong, Beefheart is fucking amazing, and a thoroughly unique vocalist in many ways... but the first time I really sat down and listened to Howlin' Wolf a couple of years ago, I was like, "Ah! So that's what his frame of reference was".

bartok's violin style, john congleton definitely picked up on that, and translated it to his music in a unique way.

I heard Howlin' Wolf before I heard Beefheart so that progression always made sense to me. But I can see how that would be pretty eye opening if heard in the opposite order.
But I had heard Tom Waits before Beefheart. I always thought Tom did a really original take on the Howlin' Wolf thing, until I heard Beefheart and realized that was Wait's frame of reference.

18The Tielman Brothers.
I discovered these guys by accident recently.
Probably the first great guitar band. I'd never heard of them before. A lot stuff they were doing is often credited to later musicans. Playing guitar behind the head etc.
The Tielman Brothers - Indorock live 1960:

The mid 60s stuff is worth watching on youtube as well. The guitarist modifed his jazzmaster to have 10 strings and they had two fender 6 string bass players.

19Much in the same way as the Stooges and the Monks started out playing punk-like music a full decade before the punk revolution, Jan Hus criticized the Catholic church and launched a Protestant-like movement a full century before Luther tacked his theses on the church door in Wittenberg.

20The brain has one but it really enjoyed that brown ale last night.
I remember.
The og version of Everbodys Talking At Me is the shit. Much better then the easy listening version. Soul singers name has escaped me.
Help?
